Colorama
On view now
Eastman Kodak produced two Coloramas that included the Taj Mahal. The first was displayed in June 1964, and included a man using a Kodak camera to make a portrait of a woman from the typical tourist’s view: the Taj Mahal as seen from the garden’s reflecting pool. This 1986 image focuses more on how a Kodak photograph may look, demonstrating a more artistic view of the site as seen across the Yamuna River.
Philip Seymour Hoffman Sculpture
On view now
A bronze sculpture of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman is installed outside the Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman Museum.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Cauleen Smith Films
March 28–May 07, 2023
Cauleen Smith (b. 1967, US) is among the most exciting and visionary artists working today. Active as a filmmaker since the early 1990s, she has created an extraordinary body of moving image work that includes over forty shorts and the 1998 acclaimed independent feature Drylongso. Stylistically rooted in experimental film, Smith’s work is visually striking while raising challenging questions around identity, power, and the potential for social change.
